Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has publicly criticized Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo over the deplorable state of road infrastructure across the state, questioning why residents are still subjected to dilapidated roads in 2026.

The movie star voiced his frustration following a recent road trip through Edo, arguing that a state celebrated for its rich history, culture, and heritage deserves far better public infrastructure.

Taking to his Instagram page, Ogbonna warned that the poor condition of the roads goes beyond a civic embarrassment, describing them as an active danger to motorists and commuters.

"A land so rich in history, culture and heritage, has absolutely no business having roads this terrible in 2026," Ogbonna wrote. "The people of Edo deserve better infrastructure. These roads are not just an embarrassment; they are a serious concern for the safety of everyone who uses them."

The actor concluded his message by directly demanding accountability from Governor Okpebholo regarding his administration's plans to fix the decaying road network.

"Mr. Governor, what exactly is being done about these roads?" he asked.

Governor Okpebholo and the Edo State Ministry of Works have yet to officially respond to the actor's remarks at the time of filing this report.
